Boyden End House

Boyden End house is a Grade II Listed property of some 3,300 sq feet on 2 floors. It has both red brick and rendered timber framed elevations under a pitched slate roof. The original part of the house, which shows an exposed and vaulted timber frame internally, dates from the 17th Century, with a brick gabled end added in the 19th Century.

Various renovations to the property have taken place over the years, with a tiled roof replacing original thatch over a mansard section of the roof.

The front entrance hall leads to the main reception rooms of Sitting Room, Drawing Room, Dining Room with further sitting room and Kitchen. The first floor has 4 bedrooms (one with en-suite) and bathroom.

There is a 2 storey 1 bedroom attached Annex with kitchen, sitting room, bathroom and WC.

There are wood burning stoves to the reception rooms and the kitchen is in a traditional farmhouse style with AGA.

The house is approached through a driveway to a small by-road off the Wickhambrook to Newmarket B1063. The road is completely screened from the property by a mature Leylandii hedge to the roadside boundary.

There is a large garden area to the rear of the house with the stable buildings beyond.

Equestrian

The main yard buildings consist of a breeze block built barn with timber clad stables to the main yard in 5 ranges, 32 stables in total. There are other currently unused stables within the barn (5) and to the side (3).

The stables consist of timber construction on a concrete base with brick plinth dwarf walls. The age of the loose boxes varies, with some under a box profile roof and others with a clay tile. The majority of the stables are 3.4 m x 3.2 m in size with some slightly smaller.

There is a further large open sided pole barn with turn out area and storage, a 4 bay horse walker and disused quarantine yard of 13 stables.

To the end of the area there is a commercial metal box profile commercial storage building used in conjunction with a catering business.

Beyond the stables there is an area formerly used as a trotting or cantering ring consisting of a level area of a track externally, with grazing area to the centre.

Redevelopment could provide facilities for a number of equestrian uses depending on requirements. The land is well drained and the exercise area suitably raised with the potential for a manege or similar arena.
